Good afternoon John
We are delighted to announce the launch of our project to tackle poverty-related
barriers and stigma in schools. The new UK Cost of the School Day project will support pupils and school communities over the next three years to
reduce financial barriers around school trips, uniform, fun events, attitudes
and more, so all children can thrive at school.
This work builds on the success of the Cost of the School Day in Scotland, and
we’re now partnering with Children North East on this UK project, drawing on
their ‘poverty proofing the school day’ expertise. Thanks to funding from the
National Lottery Community Fund, we can increase the project’s impact in
Scotland and extend its benefits to England and Wales. We’ll be working in 128
schools in Coventry, London, Neath Port Talbot and Moray.
Putting children in the lead, the project will help bring about change within
schools and the wider area, creating a cultural shift towards a more inclusive
education system for all children living in poverty.
We hope you will join us in celebrating the launch of this new project by sharing our news with your friends
